  • Dream

    Last night, near the end of a dream I was having, I was walking down this hallway. Suddenly, I felt my body floating and I passed through the ceiling and eventually found myself flying high up in the sky. I heard the "sunrise" music from Rising World playing in my mind as I was flying over a real mountainous terrain with tall pine trees, a true generated terrain in Rising World. I spotted patches of ore here and there. What was interesting is how as I flew into the sunrise, the horizon "loaded" in chunks as if it was loading in a computer, not a smooth horizon like in real life. ;) I eventually flew down to a coal patch, somehow made a pickaxe appear in my hand and began to pick away at the deposit. I picked up a chunk of coal and held it up high.


    Heh.. First time dreaming about Rising World. I remember a few years ago when I started to play Minecraft, I began to have dreams about that as well. I dreamed of standing on top of a snowy mountain made of blocks with the moon high above :)

    Some fence blocks here, maybe some animals there, and some extra furniture pieces? That's my guess. Maybe one or two more consumables.


    A fence would be nice. But I worry that I'm still building stuff minecraft style. The freestyle building system is pretty darn good already in Rising World but I just have trouble using it. I've seen some pretty amazing things built exclusively out of wood beams and planks. For the rest of us, a fence block would be nice. Currently I am using wood grates but they are too tall when placed on their side.

    OMG OMG!!! There's an update coming Tuesday evening. I wonder what It could be?


    I swear, whenever that blue bar pops up on top of the forum, I feel like a child on Christmas Eve. Such a good feeling :)

    Hello,
    Removable ladders would be great for getting down to the deep dark pits. Will add more as I think of it.


    Ladders are already removable like most placeable objects (except blocks) since a recent update . Just hold down your action key and the ladder will be removed. I've already used this to easily reposition ladders when going down deep tunnels in the caves

  • Game music

    <--- One player here who demands a soundtrack! :-D


    There's youtube videos uploaded with the minecraft soundtrack which is where I got the idea of creating one for Rising World as well. If you're not comfortable with the music being posted or youtube or anywhere else then I wont do it. :)


    Thanks for the suggestion about going deep. Now that I think of it, I can just turn off all sound effects so I can get a clean recording of the music so I can add it to my personal collection. It would be cool, however, if there was some kind of "jukebox" feature like in Minecraft to play the music whenever in my home base.

  • Game music

    I want to put together a youtube video of the music in Rising World, or just have them to listen to when I am not playing the game (e.g. at work). Previously there was only the title music and the christmas variation, in addition to the sound effects, in plain ogg vorbis files.


    Since more music was added, and corresponding to the switch over to a new sound engine, the old ogg files have been replaced with the files Music.bank and Ambience.bank . I managed to open these using a Windows program called "Aezay FSB Extractor" which once it located the offset byte was able to read the contents. However, the header information for each track appears to be missing and I cannot play anything. I dont know much about ogg headers but I think that in order to reconstruct an ogg header, I nee more information than simply the bitrate, samplerate, and duration which is provided in the bank archive. ||


    Has anyone else had better luck with this? Maybe Red could possibly provide us with the tracks. :D

  • Slight nuiance in crafting max number of blocks

    Just a nuiance I discovered...


    I had 127 stone, I crafted 64 block on the block bench
    Now 63 stone is remaining in inventory but the multiplier is still set to the max value of 64 so I cannot craft anymore. I have to reduce multiplier by 1 in order to craft the remaining 63


    The multiplier ( if 1 < inventory < current multiplier ) should reduce to whatever is left in inventory
